It goes to show you that college and university professors should stick with facts instead of pushing how they think the world should be. It has been said many times that if someone thinks the United States is so bad, then they need to look at moving to other countries that could/would meet their needs.

Wow, that article was so left-wing biased, I had to tilt my head to read it.


--- Quote ---The whole thing had lasted about 20 minutes and had made barely a ripple on campus. But thanks to a cellphone video, a web-savvy political organization, and a group of suggestible lawmakers, it soon sent shock waves across Nebraska.
--- End quote ---
So, lawmakers who are opposed to the leftist agenda are "suggestible"?


--- Quote ---Mullen had volunteered as a foot soldier for Turning Point USA
--- End quote ---
You can bet that if she was working with a leftist organization, they'd never have called her a "foot soldier".


--- Quote ---The group (Turning Point) ran a "Professor Watchlist," a sort of most-wanted list with the names of professors who have offended Turning Point by saying mean things about Republicans, speaking ill of capitalism, or teaching about white privilege — a concept that Charlie Kirk, the founder of Turning Point, has called "a myth and a lie."
--- End quote ---
So, it's only about saying "mean things".  And note that they only say someone has called white privilege a myth.  The lefts favorite tactic if they want to downplay something, just pass it off as something "believed in" or "said by" someone.


--- Quote ---The watchlist struck Lawton as McCarthyism. Some of the professors on the list had been harassed and threatened. Who was this young woman hawking Turning Point swag on her campus?
--- End quote ---
Her campus?  HER CAMPUS?!  Funny, it's our tax dollars that pay for it.  She doesn't own it!


--- Quote ---When the professor arrived, though, she assumed Mullen was a student, not a professional operative.
--- End quote ---
Wait, so standing up for what you believe means you're NOT a student?


--- Quote ---"I wanted her to know that I was not there to protest her, and I had no hard feelings toward her," Gailey says. "I was there to protest her organization."
--- End quote ---
Yeah, whatever Gailey.  If the roles were reversed, you can bet a counter-protesting "professor" wouldn't have got the kid gloves treatment if the student was a leftist.

I have to stop there, because the more I read, the more I get worked up.

SemperFiGuy:
One Big Missing Element Here is the fact that Amanda Gailey is the founder/organizer/leader of an anti-gun organization that she styles as Nebraskans Against Gun Violence (NAGV).   You can Google it.   And should.

The main NAGV mission, however, seems to actually be Nebraskans Against GUNS.  Period.   See, if there are no guns, then there will no longer be violence.   Because guns cause violence.   Yada-Yada-Yada.   By now, you've got the idea.  I'm uncertain as to just how many members are enrolled in NAGV.   Could be, it's just Amanda Gailey and a website.  But however large or small, NAGV is inimical to the interests of gun owners and The 2A.

NAGV is totally antithetical and oppositional to the NFOA.  We have an organization of some 8000 folks.  We could put some pressure on UNL and Hank Bounds by writing to the Board of Regents with copies to our own NE senators and to the three senators referenced in the article to show our support of their efforts.

And should.

FWIW,
